Lactating dairy cows exhibit a myriad of responses to heat stress. These responses partially
facilitate the thermal balance between heat gain and heat loss, but also account for …

Heat stress (HS) reduces production and efficiency in almost every metric of the dairy
operation, and it thus compromises profitability and sustainability. If the magnitude of HS …

Anthropogenic climate change is expected to have major impacts on domesticated livestock,
including increased heat stress in animals in both intensive and extensive livestock systems …

Simple Summary Heat stress leads to poor welfare, decreased productivity, and poor
product quality. It is known that the content of fatty acids in the blood can reflect the …

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of the cow-related factors on rectal
temperature (RT) and respiration rate (RR) of lactating dairy cows under different heat stress …

The severity of heat stress conditions in high-yielding dairy cows is currently
underestimated. The present study aimed to determine the heat load threshold of the …

Most research on heat stress has focused on (sub) tropical climates. The effects of higher
ambient temperatures on the daily behavior of dairy cows in a maritime and temperate …

Agriculture is a vital economic sector, providing food, fibre, and energy to a growing human
population. Livestock are an important part of this sector, however the evidence and …

We investigated the effects of environmental factors on average daily milk yield and day-to-
day variation in milk yield of barn-housed Scottish dairy cows milked with an automated …

A trend of global warming has been observed over the last few years and it has often been
discussed whether there is an effect on livestock. Numerous studies have been published …
